My heart goes out to you. I wish I could take away your pain but I think Karen has identified why you are feeling as you do. Give yourself time and take care of you. Those feeling from the past come out and cause us continued pain and often it is when we least expect it. Just give yourself some time and cry if you need to this is a positive step in the grieving process. Remember the grieving goes on for many many years. Hugs to you.

SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. YOU ARE IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS. IT IS TOUGH LOSING A PARENT NO MATTER WHAT OUR AGE. THE SPIRIT HAS LEFT THE BODY, AND YES WE MISS THEIR PRESENCE HERE ON EARTH. HE LIVES FOREVER IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD. PEACE BE WITH YOU.

Welcome back Sharon. We have missed you. I am so sorry to hear about your Dad, but happy that you were able to go back and spend time with him at the end. Now you know that he no longer suffers. May God be with you and your family at this time.

Love ya. Marion/BC

Friday is here...smiling..

Coming into another weekend, I am off to work this morning , and my tootsies feel awesome...thanks Gold Bond..tee hee...

Thanks everyone for sharing on Key 2, Alice you are so right, all we need to do is incompatible actions instead of eating when these emotions come....I made up a nice long list last night and placed it on my fridge...and will do at least 4 of them each time I find myself wanting to comfort myself with food....Like Vickie, I too love music, and this is at the top of my list...lol...IE is second..tee hee..

I used to find weekends hard as you all know, not anymore, so this is a positive change in my life, and it shows me other changes will need to be adopted too...mostly in the thinking department....that's where any action starts, be it negative or positive....winking...

We can and will do it!!! This truly is a Lifestyle change, and takes lots of planning and practice...Like you mentioned Shirley, we weren't always turning to food, there was a time that came in our lives that we found food for comfort, and the cycle began....now to switch back with some adaptations that work for us...and then results that are favourable come....thanks for that insight....I have really been thinking on that too....

We all have Key 2 emotions from past and present , that we will work through and rise above....this is exciting as well as challenging too....but we can do it....smiling...

It's my g/d's 3rd birthday tomorrow, and I am going to celebrate it and enjoy it totally, my mindset is to not focus on the food aspect but rather to enjoy her and her day....

Same as with other events, and situations, if I pre-plan as much as I can, keep my mind focused off food, I will succeed once again....this is my goal....

May you all have a safe, and wonderful day, you are in my thoughts and heart as I toodle off to work...trying for 6 hours today...tee hee...

Hugs and love,

Karen

May we be without stress and also may we de-clutter our lives and homes so that peace is easier to attain. . .Don and I , with another couple went to a neighboring golf course for a game today, as our golf course was closed due to a very large tournament being held. . Had a real fun day but oh my GOSH. . it was very very hot out. . .How hot was it? ? ? It was so hot that after the golf game we stopped at a lovely pub, and had a beer out in the garden. . My first beer in about 5 years. . . And yes I really enjoyed it. . No guilt at all. . .Mind you I did have to water it down a bit with Clamato juice. . .hugs and blessing to all. . .Reen/Pooz
